Thanks. It was off. I usually leave it on so maybe the F'n 25 (25.2.0.79) turned it on. I deleted several plist when troubleshooting so that may have reset it. I'll report back if it happens again. Thanks!!!! This is so damn frustrating and I'm not even dealing with Rewire yet. The Sierra updater killed my Roland controller so now I'm octopussing it to my Kurzweil PC2. Thank god for bluetooth trackpads and keyboards. I killed off the mouse about a year ago. No mo' mice in my studio! AND NO WIRE HANGERS!!! lol

This just started happening to me in 2014.5 as well. I don't know the reason. For some reason, changing the view with the menu jumpstarts the keyboard shortcuts so they start working once I have changed the view with the menu ONCE.
